Synopsis: She looked in the box. The New Way series offers a wide range of stories - traditional and contemporary, humorous and fantastic - to appeal to today's children. The extent and quality of resources within this scheme ensures that the teaching of both reading and language development are catered for comprehensively. It provides not just a graded reading scheme, but a whole language programme. The series provides: a balanced approach which combines phonics, look and say, and reading for meaning; careful and straightforward progression through eight colour-coded levels (White to Orange) relating directly to different reading-ability ages, from pre-reading to approximately eight years; colourful and humorous content with proven child appeal; and wide-ranging ancillary support for the teacher. Written in response to teachers' requests for more core material at the early levels of New Way. Easy Starts consolidate the vocabulary of the existing core books, and reinforce work on phonics. The White, Pink, Red and Green Levels each include six readers, with stories of animal characters for pre-readers to children aged six. Key features include: clear phonic support; meaningful, humorous contexts; and further consolidation of vocabulary in the core books. The teacher's guide: offers detailed vocabulary lists; describes the phonic element of Easy Start; provides word games to consolidate vocabulary; and gives suggestions for oral follow-up work.
